MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1895. $3 00 PER YEAR A Governor Grants tana Cline a Conditional Pardon. YOUNG AND PRETTY GIRL '..' Bent for a One-Year Laroenjr Term- King' Daughters Got her Par- don Ton House of Refuge. Governor Carr today granted Lena Cline, a young white girl from Hay wood county, who wan sorviiig a one year sentence In the penitentiary, conditional pardon. The girt was v this morning carried to a bouse of ' refuge in Baltimore by Mrs.. Hayes, King's Daughter' matron, through whioh sooiety her release was ob- ' tainea, ' In the ladies walling room at the Union depot sat the matron and tbia erring girl for whom life has ooiri- menoed again and for whom waits $ ohanoe of reform, shutting oat the black history of crime and disgrace that lies behind her a history whioh ., she can never forget, but the pain of whioh she now has a ohanoe to les sen, f ," . v' Maggie Cline is a young and a re . ncarkably pretty girl. Hefbeanty is the more striking when one conaid .. ers her lite and imprisonment in the ' gloomy penitentiary and the assooia- : tions there neoessanly formed. ' The secret leaked out and a ourioua , crowd gathered and peered curiously t though the glass. But the young girl, just free from imprisonment, bad not quite, lost the apologetic look of humble submission that fastens usually on the oonvlot Once or twice only did she raise her eyes, large and timidVbut they dropped again. t But the crowd looking on was a sincerely sympathetic one. A pretty woman will ever attract attention, ' but let that woman be one whose life has in any way placed her before the public and thejattention she attracts ; is all-absorbing. And so, when the alight, girlish figure passed through the depot gates and the pretty, oval face; framed with Its masses of curl ing brown hair had been lost sight of by the many eyes that peered ouri oosly through the bars of the Iron . partition, nothing but expressions of sympathy and - satisfaction were -heard. - ' . And as the large eyes of Lena Cline glanced timidly backward at the row of kindly though f curious faoes pressed against the iron bars, did not , a vision -of other iron; bulwarks against freedom loom up in her mind with grim significance; and did not her heart go out in sympathy ;; to the poor wretches ol whom Bhe - had bo recently been one as they toiled on, and. on, dreary and with out hope? But as she banished these thoughts, did not her better nature assert itself, and did she not resolve " that this "last ohanoe" should not be lost I ' - -. The girl is to be placed, aooording to the Governor's conditions, in a bouse of refuge at No, 6, Exeter street, in Baltimore, where she shall remain as long as the authorities deem wise, or until they are satisfied of her oomplete reform. . The pardon was obtained by the Board of Charities and the King's h Daughters, who procured the girl a place at the Home. It was a good work; and all who read this story will rejoice at its success.
